The Declaration of Independence

We will be dividing the Declaration of Independence into four parts and analyze each part separately.

On a new sheet in your MBSD notebook you will break down and analyze the DOI. It should look similar to the picture below. With each section you need to read that part and tell in your own words what that section means. You may work with your group through each part.

After analyzing all four parts answer the following two questions in your MBSD journal...1. Why was the Declaration of Independence written? 2. How was the Declaration of Independence a response to tyranny and the abuse of power?
